Socktober

You can help us #LOVEACITY this October during City Takers’ SOCKTOBER!

Socktober will be held October 27, 2018 @ Hurt Park, downtown Atlanta.

GOAL: Distribute 1,000 pairs of socks to the homeless

City Takers serves over 2,000 homeless individuals every year. The city of Atlanta has close to 7,000 people living on the streets, in shelters, and in transitional housing.

Our work with the homeless has identified a huge need for proper foot care and foot wear among our friends on the streets. Improper footwear, long periods of standing, and prolonged exposure to moisture lead to a number of foot diseases that cause infections that can become severe and disabling.

TELL SOMEBODY: Share the flyer and tell your friends and family about how they can help. Make sure to hashtag #citytakers #loveacity #socktober if you donate or volunteer. You can also share your story with a pic on citytakers.com/urbanmissionary/
